I'm part of that small subset (there is intentional tremor, which actually made a Parkinsonism diagnosis a bit of a bitch). That's not a rebuttal; the device would be far more useful for essential tremor or Huntington's-like disease sufferer's than it would be for the ordinary Parkinson's sufferer. (For some value of "ordinary", which is hard to come by in the Parkinson's world. Among my peer group - people I've actually met through neurologists, support services, and so forth - there have been a relatively small number of people who have a textbook presentation. But intentional tremor is not a frequent symptom.) The spoon (and similar devices) would be absolutely transformative for some people's quality of life, but putting the "Parkinson's" label on it won't get it into the right hands.
